Get Waisted hosts a Fashion Show for Brighton College

Toni Pickles firmly believes in supporting local charities as well as education, so it’s no surprise that for the third year running, Get Waisted helped the girls of Fenwick House, one of the houses at leading independent school, Brighton College, put on a fashion show (www.brightoncollege.org.uk).

Last year the theme was ‘James Bond’, the year before ‘Moulin Rouge’ – so there’s never a shortage of glamour. This year the theme was 1940’s and ‘50’s ‘Hollywood Glamour’ so of course it was just the ticket for Get Waisted.

After music and dance from some extremely talented students, brave members of staff strutted their stuff in front of the student body wearing pieces from a number of local shops including Passport, Lucia’s Workshop and Foxed Up Vintage, for the ‘Teachers Runway’.

This was followed by collections from Get Waisted, Dig for Victory and Pretty Eccentric, varying from fun outfits through to vintage-inspired day and cocktail dresses, and evening glamour.

With financial contributions from a raffle as well ticket sales for the event, catering and a fun photo booth with accessories for a record of the event from Emmest Photography (www.emmestphotography.co.uk/), the final amount raised for Chestnut Tree House is still being calculated - but with around 200 people there on the night (a full house), the evening was a great success and much enjoyed by everyone.

Fabulous Fenwick Fashion Show

This week saw Get Waisted www.getwaisted.co.ukin a flurry of fashion activity, with a collection of our dresses being put through their catwalk paces at Brighton College's Fenwick House Fashion Show. The kids did themselves proud with their fabulous attitude, professional approach and striking good strutts!

Rocking the catwalk aside, this brilliant event raised a fantastic £1500 for charity, with proceeds shared between Chestnut Tree House and B-Eat. So lets get started with a run down of the night...

Short, sweet and embellished, we start with a couple of crackers. A gorgeous little black dress in beautiful silk velvet with sumptuous feather trim to neck and hem, alongside a cross shoulder, silver duchess, silk satin dress, embellished with organza roses.

Next up is this beautiful full length red carpet gown, in red crepe silk, which can be worn strapless or as halter neck as shown, followed by a trio of glammed up girls with three corset based looks. In the centre, a black duchess satin, body con dress, with chiffon inlaid panel to the front. On the right, a one shoulder red corset, embellished with black organza silk trim, and on the left, a stunning black and white corset dress with large bow detail at the back.

Two more short and simple dresses here. First a stunning black duchess satin dress, with bright purple dupion silk sash, and detachable sleeve. Then this striking, electric blue, strapless dress in luxurious dupion silk.

We took a lot of orders the night and would just like to say a huge thanks and congratulations to everyone involved. Can't wait for next years event! Now back to the catwalk........
